Jermaine Rogers is trying to end this crazy year on a positive note with the release of 3 art prints.

This Yellow Brick Road Goes Nowhere...' (BLUE SKY) Art PrintThis piece measures approximately 33x24 inches and is screen printed on gallery stock. This 'blue sky' variation has been anticipated for some time, and is finally being made available to collectors.Regarding the imagery, Jermaine says:"There are no magic roads that lead to 'everything you've always dreamed of.' There are no wizards with all of the answers that will make your life a success. 'Life' is off the road, out in the mud, in the weeds, and the woods. It's not all pretty, and it's not paved: you'll have to do a little work and a lot of thinking for yourself. But you'll sleep better. Still, if you do choose to follow one of the countless yellow-brick-roads out there, make sure you bring a chair. It gets tiring going in circles."

- REGULAR EDITION - Printed on Stardream Opal gallery stock. From a signed and numbered edition of only 70 pieces.

BLACK EDITION - Printed on Stardream Onyx gallery stock. From a signed and numbered edition of only 30 pieces.

LAVA FOIL EDITION -Printed on holographic Lava Foil stock. From a signed and numbered edition of only 25 pieces.

'Every single day, the thinking and feeling being is doing everything it can to keep its mind and body focused. In precarious times like these, the effort alone can drive a being completely mad. As this current year of our lives stumbles & staggers to a close, you can almost hear the echoes in the wind... Something like a communal groan...'

This Friday Cyclops Prints will release the first batch of serigraphs from their recent An Art Tribute to the Disney Films of Ron Clements & John Musker gallery show, which was presented by Cyclops Print Works, Disney Fine Art, Gallery Nucleus, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Oh My Disney.

For the band WEEN’s second show in San Francisco Emek wanted to pay tribute to one of the most famous images in classic posters from San Francisco. (Among other changes, he turned the flying eyeball into the classic “Boognish” logo from Ween.)

At the bottom of my poster, Emek wrote a brief description:

Rick Griffin was born in California on June 18, 1944. His father was an engineer and amateur archaeologist and as a boy Rick accompanied him on digs in the Southwest. It was during this time that Rick was exposed to the Native American and ghost town artifacts that were to influence his later work. At 20, Rick hitch-hiked towards San Fransisco, he fell asleep, waking to find the car swerving from side to side. The vehicle went out of control and Rick lost his left eye in the accident (the story goes he was stabbed in his eye by his own drawing tools that were in his shirt pocket). I made the connection that perhaps this was the inspiration behind the EYE in his subsequent work. His work became more sophisticated and his characteristic fluid lettering style emerged. The famous "Flying Eyeball" poster ranks and one of the most important images of the era and is sought after by fans and modern art museums alike. In 1991 near San Fransisco, California, Rick was thrown from his Harely-Davidson motorcycle when he collided with a van. He died 3 days later on August 18th at the age of 47, leaving behind a legacy of visionary and influential Art. He inspired guys like me to keep the music poster scene interesting - even if one day I'd come along and commit sacrilege to his image - but also, hopefully honor his work. Hand-drawing Rick Griffin's incredible lettering and art was very challenging, but very fun. - EMEK

Alexander Hanke has a gig poster releasing this Friday. It’s for a Swedish band called Tiger Lou. It’s mainly the project of a guy by the name of Rasmus Kellerman, he has been absent for over 7 years and just released a fantastic new record. The print is based mainly on one track of this record, that’s called „You town“ and deals with memories, isolation and affiliation. Alexander choose that one because the show takes place in his hometown and he has pretty similar memories about it.Specs: 40x60cm / 4 colors / 250gsm Olin extra smooth / Edition of 50

Right Alex has released his first Mystery Tube, it’s more a box but printed all over. It contains 4 gig poster from different years / 1 art print / 3 cards / 2 sticker.

Alexander also has something like a Christmas calendar thing going on in the social media waves and in the shop. He will display, sell and gift some rarities and some great new stuff. He's been been digging in the archive and found sold out prints or artist proofs from The Thermals, I Am Kloot, the Notwist, Blood Red Shoes, Sigur Rós and many more. Each day another one gets revealed.

Dark Hall Mansion under license from Peanuts Worldwide LLC, is so very pleased to share their annual Christmas and holiday Peanuts editions, and what better way than to welcome artists Eric Robison and Steve Thomas to share their very special "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "A Peanuts Christmas" limited edition prints.

Steve Thomas brings his take on Charles M. Schulz's 1965 incomparable classic, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," via a most joyful celebration that finds Charlie Brown's efforts well recognized as the Peanuts gang gathers round for a very special Christmas carol indeed. Steve's variant edition print is pure fun rendering Vince Guaraldi's classic jazz break as our beloved director loses control of his Christmas play and one of the most spirited and memorable of all dance scenes breaks out! Steve's adorable "A Peanuts Christmas" is not to be missed finding everyone's favorite beagle snuggled up with warm milk and cookies awaiting Santa's arrival.

DHM is honored to again welcome back artist Eric Robison, former Disney Imagineer, an artist whose career needs but a quick Google review to show its range and stature. Eric's powerful gestural style has graced such high profile projects as Disney's "100 Mickeys," the official "Haunted Mansion" painting and seasonal "Nightmare Before Christmas" editions, so we're honored to have Eric at work on a broad host of exclusive projects for DHM. Eric's standard edition for DHM's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is universal and all mood finding Charlie Brown quietly and ethereally reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas. Eric's "Hope and Retrospection" variant edition is a powerful and evocative piece in which he has deliberately silenced the lights on Snoopy's doghouse underscoring Charlie Brown's reverential focus and reminding us all, especially at this time of year, to focus on that which truly matters in life.

Ian Williams and Brandon Heart collaborated on this years Blink Holiday poster.

Almost every artist, gallery and print publisher holds back prints from the initial sale for in person events or family members and a variety of reasons. Joey Feldman did that for his Wrigley Field Pearl Jam poster as well. But so many people kept asking him about he decided to sell the few remaining Artist Edition of each poster he has.

He will have 10 regular low numbered , embossed and signedand 5 AP variants available, embossed signed and numbered and this is the last of them.

Dan Grzeca has joined in the fight to help the Native Americans fighting for their rights in North Dakota.

Dan talks about the print:

I have made a one color print of the detailed keyplate drawing from the "A Wind Came Out Of The East" print, which was inspired by the Fugazi song Smallpox Champion. ALL proceeds , not net profits, ALL proceeds will go directly to the Standing Rock tribe, who are currently fighting a desperate protest to block the construction of the Dakota Acess Pipeline through Tribal Land, violating treaties and endangering the water supply.

The print is an 18 x 24 inche screen print with a signed & numbered edition of 100 .

Following Mon Oncle and Mr. Hulot’s holidays, Nautilus Art Prints is embarking upon yet another one of Jacques Tati’s cinema milestones: Playtime. The movie failed to be a success when it was originally released, Playtime is an exorbitant and insane piece of work which is now hailed as a classic as important as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.
The shooting went on for three years, an entire city made of skyscrapers was built from scratch which ultimately led to Tati being totally bankrupted.

In collaboration with Les Films de mon Oncle, Nautilus is very proud to present a new screen print signed by French artist Vincent Mahé, whose style perfectly fits the style and universe of Jacques Tati. Don’t miss it!

The opening reception, free and open to the public, will be held on Friday, December 9, from 7:00 – 10:00pm at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX (4115 Guadalupe St). The show will run through Saturday, December 17.

Mondo Creative Director Mitch Putnam said "Nickelodeon was a huge part of my childhood. It represented everything cool and rebellious, and parents didn't know anything about it. We worked with a number of great artists to pay homage to some of the channel's most influential programming. We hope you have as much fun seeing it as we had making it."

"Thrilled to be part of the Nickelodeon show with Mondo. I grew up watching Nickelodeon when my family first got cable in the early ‘80s, with shows like Pinwheeland You Can't Do That on Television. Always wanted to get slimed for saying 'I don't know?' or food poisoning from Barth's Burgery," said artist Dave Perillo.

In addition to our usual Friday-night opening, they're so excited to host a special Family Day on Saturday, December 10, from 10am – NOON, featuring a Slime Building Workshop with Mad Science of Austin, face painting, photo booth, coffee and donuts, and more!
